Autumn in a Kentucky Monastery

We have delighted much in the change of seasons this autumn. We know once the leaves fall from the trees we will once again see much of the misery left over from the ice storm last February. But the Lord has been easing the transition for us by giving us a beautiful show.

Here is a hilarious sight!
During the ice storm this tree broke off just above the rope that was holding it in place.
That rusty old stake is STILL doing its job!

Enjoy the tour!

Have you made your annual retreat? I invite you to consider making a retreat on these holy grounds! Join us for the Liturgy...walk the grounds...rest in the silence of God's presence.

O see how the cross is lifted up...to draw all men unto Him...
a day lived for the glory of God and salvation of souls...
Goodnight!
